IMPROVEMENT IN STOVE-PIPES.

Specification forming part of LettersPatent No. 181,910, dated September5, 1876; application filed March 14, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LEDYARDOOLBURN, ofChicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Stove-Pipes; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which,it-appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, and to letters of reference marked there,- on,which form a part of this specification.

Figure l is a plan view; Fig. 2, a side elevation and Fig. 3, atransverse section, as indicated. by the line 00 w of Fig. 2.

Like letters in all the figures of the drawing indicate like parts.

This invention consists of a recess formed in a stove-pipe orheating-pipe to receive a vessel of porous material, or other vesselcontaining water, for supplying the atmosphere in the room with moistureby evaporation;

' also, in providing the said recessed pipe with a. projection, to forma shelf for holding articles, as will be hereinafter more fullyexplained.

A is the recess, formed in a section or joint of the pipe, havingconnections B B on the ends thereof, to connect with pipe above andbelow, and constructed to allow the heat or smoke to pass freely aroundback of the recess. A vessel, 0, of porous material, containing water,is placed in the recess, and secured therein by passing a wire, a,around the vessel and pipe. The recess partially incloses the vessel,leaving a sufficient portion of its surface exposed, by which the watermay evaporate as it per'colates through the pores of the vessel, thussupplying the atmosphere of the room with moisture, and thereby ren- BB, and vessel 0, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own invention I affix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.
